the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am the CEO of a nutrition and health platform.
What challenge were you trying to address with FOONKIE MONKEY?
We needed an agency that could finish the development of our mobile app and provide continuous maintenance for it.
What was the scope of their involvement?
FOONKIE MONKEY picked up where the previous development agency had left off. They used Flutter, Laravel, React, and Figma to complete our mobile app. Their team now provides maintenance services for us.
What is the team composition?
We worked with seven people from FOONKIE MONKEY.
How did you come to work with FOONKIE MONKEY?
We had initially developed the mobile app with another agency but decided, for different reasons, to stop working with them. We looked for more international companies and found FOONKIE MONKEY on Clutch.
We compared them to around 15 other companies and saw that their price was the most competitive and their proposal the most well-prepared. It showed great commitment and skill. They also allowed us to have a flexible test project, which was very convenient and offered great guarantees. We decided to take them on from there.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent around $15,000–$20,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in October 2021, and it is an ongoing collaboration.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I am very happy with the quality of their work. FOONKIE MONKEY has been extremely flexible and responsive to our needs. They are very organized and well structured, and they show us the best and most efficient ways to work. They truly educate us on how to make the project a success.
How did FOONKIE MONKEY perform from a project management standpoint?
They do great on this front. We use Jira for project management.
What did you find most impressive about them?
FOONKIE MONKEY is extremely well organized and honest. They also have a very strong work ethic.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I honestly couldn’t say anything bad about them.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there
I’m the owner of a pet grooming business.
What challenges were you trying to address with Foonkie Monkey?
We needed help to develop a mobile app for our business.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Foonkie Monkey is helping me develop an app to allow our clients to make appointments via mobile. It’s an Uber-like platform, and our goal is that other grooming businesses can use it. The app is being developed both for Android and iOS.
What was the team composition?
We’ve worked with around eight people from their team, including a project manager, graphic designers, and backend developers, among others.
How did you come to work with Foonkie Monkey?
I found them doing research online. I had other options that seemed like a good fit, but we chose Foonkie Monkey because of the reviews from previous clients and the fact that they are bilingual, which was important for us, and the reviews from previous clients.
How much have you invested in them?
We’ve spent about $130,000 with them so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them around June 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We haven’t launched the app yet, but their work has given us great expectations for the results.
How did Foonkie Monkey perform from a project management standpoint?
They impress me with their excellent project management skills, professionalism, communications, kindness, and availability. They've always been keeping an excellent track of the project's progress and have been pushing us to meet deadlines — I'm delighted with them.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their attention and customer care are outstanding. At the beginning of the project, they didn't even bill the hours needed to understand the project's scope and goals — they've shown their commitment and care to our business throughout the engagement.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I don't think there's anything they can improve on.

the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder of DraftBall, an English Premier League fantasy software platform.
What challenge were you trying to address with FOONKIE MONKEY?
We were looking for a high-quality but affordable Flutter development agency to develop our platform.
What was the scope of their involvement?
FOONKIE MONKEY is developing our Android and iOS app using Flutter, and they’re also building our web app using React. They’re mainly doing front end development, but sometimes they help on the back end, which is built on Ruby on Rails.
What is the team composition?
We work with 8–10 people, including Camilo (CEO), a creative director, and UX resources.
How did you come to work with FOONKIE MONKEY?
We found them through Clutch. We were looking for someone nearshore to lessen the timezone and language barriers.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent between $50,000–$100,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in January 2021, and it’s ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The project is a work in progress, and we haven’t released anything yet. It’s too early to speak of anything quantitative at this point. However, I can say that FOONKIE MONKEY is the best vendor we’ve ever worked with. They’ve done a great job executing.
How did FOONKIE MONKEY perform from a project management standpoint?
FOONKIE MONKEY’s work has been on budget. We’ve been a bit behind schedule, but they’re very accommodating and brought in additional developers to support the project.
Camilo is a good communicator and a charming guy — I can tell he’s passionate about the project. He’s very hands-on, and he whipped everything to shape.
What did you find most impressive about them?
FOONKIE MONKEY’s communication is fantastic.
Are there any areas they could improve?
FOONKIE MONKEY can improve on their scheduling; the project has taken longer than we wanted. That said, I know these projects always fall behind on time, so I don’t think it’s uniquely their problem.

Android & iOS App Development for IT Company
"They proposed solutions and didn't simply respond to what we asked."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there
I’m the CEO of a tech services company.
What challenges were you trying to address with FOONKIE MONKEY?
We developed a mobile app but didn’t have a good experience with the company we worked with. Past vendors didn't seem to understand our needs as well as our customers' needs. As a result, those vendors had a different interpretation of our requirements, so they submitted deliverables that were very different from what we were expecting. As a result, we engaged with FOONKIE MONKEY to finish developing our app and fix the things we weren’t happy with.
What was the scope of their involvement?
FOONKIE MONKEY continued to develop our Android and iOS app during the first phase. They then added features during the second phase.
How did you come to work with FOONKIE MONKEY?
We did some online research and looked for companies based in Brazil, Colombia, and Chile, and we found FOONKIE MONKEY during this research. Their proposal was the one we liked the most because they offered exactly what we were looking for. More importantly, they were based in Colombia, which would make it easier for us to manage currency exchange and other administrative issues.
How much have you invested in them?
We spent $20,000 on the whole project. For the first phase, we spent $15,000. For the second phase, we spent around $4,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in April 2021, and it’s ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
FOONKIE MONKEY worked hard to ensure that our app functioned well and 95% of the time every change that they implemented was good. On top of that, they strived to meet our expectations. In that sense, we had a better experience with them than other agencies and developers we worked with.
How did FOONKIE MONKEY perform from a project management standpoint?
FOONKIE MONKEY had a great methodology, and they were very organized. They used Azure as a project management tool. One of the things that made a great difference was the fact that they were able to get out of their programmer's mindset. As a result, they were able to listen and respond with a human sense, instead of just responding technically. Above all, their communications and involvement were very good.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They proposed solutions and didn't simply respond to what we asked. Instead, FOONKIE MONKEY always provided us with the best and efficient options.
Are there any areas they could improve?
In the beginning, we started using a prepaid method, and that didn’t work very well — particularly for our investors who were not young because they had a hard time understanding the processes.

Mobile App Development for Financial Solutions Firm
"What distinguishes them from other providers is the quality of their work and their commitment to the timeline."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the owner of a company that created a mobile app intended to help people achieve financial freedom.
What challenge were you trying to address with FOONKIE MONKEY?
We wanted to develop a more unique and sustainable UI, so that our users feel more inclined to use the app.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We started the project with an initial call to describe our requirements for the next stage, and what I wanted the app to look like. The next phase was for them to design a template for approval. Then, the final step would be for them to go through the development process, and have any changes approved — if changes aren’t approved, they can keep applying changes as necessary.
I provided them with the backend code, requirement documents, flowcharts of how I want the app to function, and examples of how I wanted the app to look. In addition, they conducted a discovery session on other apps that provide similar functionalities.
The purpose of the app is to allow users to partake in a ROSCA (Rotating Credits and Savings Association) group. A concept used in immigrant communities in South America, where a group of people get together and contribute money to a pool. Each month, one person gets a large pool of money, and they pay it off in those consecutive months.
The app is a cross-platform tool and it is built using Flutter. It’s also compatible with both the Android and iOS platforms.
What is the team composition?
We work with a team of five people that consists of a project manager, developers, and scrum master.
How did you come to work with FOONKIE MONKEY?
I actually found them through Clutch. I was looking through various companies, saw their portfolio, and I was very impressed. That’s how I selected them.
How much have you invested with them?
So far, I believe we’ve invested $10,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
Our ongoing partnership started in January 2021.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Off the top of my head, we’ve increased our production timeline by one month. FOONKIE MONKEY is an exceptional team that’s very detail-oriented, and they provide real expertise and knowledge in development. If we don’t know something, they’ll figure it out, they'll let us know, and provide us with a quote.
They do a decent amount of research that gives results — they’re just an honest team that does really good work.
How did FOONKIE MONKEY perform from a project management standpoint?
From a project management standpoint, they’re very professional. I can contact the developers when I need to, and the project manager gives me the timelines, updates, schedules, and all the meetings to make sure that every task is being monitored and recorded.
We typically communicate over email, Slack, and Google Meet.
What did you find most impressive about them?
What distinguishes them from other providers is the quality of their work and their commitment to the timeline.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I don’t have anything because they’re doing a pretty good job so far.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
My advice would be to do more research and make sure you know exactly what the end product looks like. Multiple iterations are going to be more work for them and more costly for you. Out of all the development companies I talked to, FOONKIE MONKEY gave the most honest quote and the best timeline, and they’ve proven their expertise.

So far I do feel FOONKIE MONKEY genuinely wants to see us succeed. We're not simply another account or project, but there is a synergy between ours and their success.
Equally, their competence so far has been verified. Of course we need the technical ability to launch our app, however it's a refreshing change to work with an organisation who have both these attributes.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Of course, there is always room for improvement with anything. They are happy to hear feedback and I'm sure in due course we will discuss anything further that they can do to improve the delivery of the app if needed.

Introduce your business and what you do there.
Merge-Tech is a social market place for minorities in the construction industry.
What challenge were you trying to address with FOONKIE MONKEY?
We started with this project recently and the first thing we did was to develop a prototype in a platform and then we used it to start connecting with our prospective clients.
As we started connecting with them we realized how interested they were in the project and how important it was for us to develop an app as soon as possible.
What was the scope of their involvement?
At the moment, FOONKIE MONKEY is in the process of developing the MVP. We’re still in the initial process of brainstorming and finishing the wireframing, but we expect the project to have several phases. We know that as soon as we launch the app to the market there will be growth, changes and more requirements.
The team recommended the Azure stack for cloud development. However, these are just recommendations, we still have to choose which technologies we are using. The app will be developed both for iOS and Android.
What is the team composition?
We work with about eight teammates.
How did you come to work with FOONKIE MONKEY?
We started looking for companies to help us out with the app development. As Latinos, we wanted to work with a Latin American company, preferably from Colombia. So, with that in mind, we started our search.
We did some online research and we found Clutch and other platforms where we chose the agencies that would be the best fit for us based on the reviews and price range. After meeting up with different companies, some of which were based in the US and India, we ended up choosing FOONKIE MONKEY.
